Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

2. In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix well with wire whisk and set aside.

3. In a large bowl cream together butter and sugar with an electric mixer to form a grainy paste. Add eggnog, vanilla and egg yolks and beat at medium speed until smooth.

4. Add the flour mixture and beat at low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
